Temporary

It’s only temporary, baby. Don’t go catching feelings because I will tear you apart.

GAGE

Mari Jones is an itch under my skin that I can’t satisfy. The sassy, long-legged cocktail waitress is everything I shouldn’t want. Smart-mouthed, take-no-shit, sexy-as-hell, and the worst thing I could throw into my life but I want her.

The thing is…I’ve always wanted her.

She doesn’t remember me but I’ve never forgotten her.

And now I’m going to put her into my bed.

Don’t get me wrong — I’m not about forever — I see what I want and I find a way to get it but it’s always a temporary fix.

No amount of money in the world can fix what’s broken inside me — and I should know, I’m fucking loaded — so don’t even try.

I’m damaged. Broken to the core.

If she catches feelings, I’m going to ruin her.

Even though I know I should walk, I can’t.

She’s everything I ever wanted…everything I will never deserve to have.

Right or wrong…she’s mine.
